ASSEMBLY

Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.

Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing forward on the top edge of the bar.

Install the clutch cover and locate the chain tensioner pin in the clutch cover. Check that the chain’s drive links ﬁt correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly located in the groove in the bar. Install the chain tensioning pulley but do not tighten.

Tension the chain by turning the wheel down (+). The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar.

The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar knob by turning the knob clockwise.

When ﬁtting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain

tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life.

Note: If clutch cover is difﬁcult to remove, replace bar nuts, engage brake and rerelease (an audible click will be heard if released properly).
